Hi Susan,
Linda's advice was great. I'm sure you have a great medical team that can give you the detailed information you need to make a big decision. In the earlier days of my diagnosis and after a big procedure like you have just had, I had difficulty thinking clearly (well, I probably have difficulty thinking clearly now too but I can't think of a good excuse). When you have had a little time to recover and absorb the information you've been given, I have no doubt you will be more comfortable with thinking about big decisions. I was 39 when I was diagnosed and I had (have) young children. I was stage 3c so there were few decisions to ponder. My treatment was pretty aggressive. If I thought about it all at once, chemo, surgery, and radiation seemed overwhelming. If I just tried to approach things one phase of treamtent at a time one day at a time, it was all manageable. A lot of it is behind me now. I know you will just do great!!
Love and prayers, Kathy
